Bring back "Save As" in Pages

Honestly, I hate this "Save a Version"…is there any way to bring back Save As? I want to be in charge of my own saving and naming, thank you very much!

Same answer I gave for someone else exactly two hours ago:
The return of Save As as well as the addition of a shortcut for File > Duplicate comes with Mountain Lion tomorrow. Of course, it's quite likely that the iWork apps will need updates to take advantage of these.

Please bring back "save as" !

what happened to save as??? I need it to work fast and need to do far more clicks now.
If you agree then please send messages to apple in any way you can to promote
them to bring back " save as" ! It is a vital function to keep track of files
and to work faster.
let me know what you think. ! Thank you

I'm writing to ask apple for this topic. Then I saw your topic underneath, I would better reply.
I agree with you and wanna ask Apple about "Don't you know that the "duplicate" got my life so complicated and I prefer to get "save as" back.
I open my file and edit, adjust and modify but I would like to keep the original file and save this edited file in another name but OK I choosed duplicate I saved another name THEN??? My old file was chenged and save automatically the same as new name duplicated file!!! For what?
By the "save as" I never found this complicated and easier.
PLEASE BRING BACK "SAVE AS"
I wish you are listening to this little voice.

TUTORIAL: Disable Auto Save, Versions and bring back Save As

1. Quit the app(s) you want to configure.
2. Launch Terminal.
3. Paste the command below in the Terminal window, then replace 'name of app' with the name of whatever app you want to configure (e.g. 'textedit'), before hitting Enter:
defaults write -app 'name of app' ApplePersistence -bool no
Alternatively, you can configure all apps at once with the following command:
defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no
I don't recommend doing this, though, because, for some reason, it slows down the login process considerably.
For TextEdit only, you also need to run another command, as a workaround for errors that prevents it from functioning correctly:
defaults write -app textedit AutosavingDelay -int 0
4. Relaunch the app(s).
5. Enjoy you considerably less infuriating Mac!
If you don't see any changes, a relogin will in most cases do the trick (if not, the app probably uses a non-standard saving mechanism).
Please note: Although this brings back Save As in most apps, this is sadly not the case with Preview and iWork.
To undo any of the above commands, run:
defaults delete -app 'name of app' ApplePersistence
defaults delete -g ApplePersistence
defaults delete -app textedit AutosavingDelay
P.S. If you want to remove data already stored by Versions, you need to delete the hidden .DocumentRevisions-V100 folder in the root directory of your disk(s).

Why?
Because the "Ask to keep changes when closing documents" setting doesn't actually turn off Auto Save and can cause loss of data.
Because the Save As "feature" in Mountain Lion, isn't actually the traditional Save As that OS X had prior to Lion, but a useless, mock version that is likely to cause data loss.
Because Apple still refuses to offer any way of disabling Versions.
Or, in other words:

Auto Save & Versions a bust ... bring back "Save As"

Having upgrading my laptop to Lion and discovering that along with Auto Save and Versions comes the elimination of the Save As command and the inability to turn these new features off I will be reinstalling Snow Leopard and definitely not upgrading our household's other machines.
The new scheme is cumbersome in it's insistence that I duplicate the document to give it a new name.
I do not like the idea that previous drafts are accessible from inside the document by anyone who might access my machine.
I do not like that new versions are created and saved without my say-so. I do not like that I am not asked to save/discard changes upon quitting.
In short, the 248 great new features provide me little reason to upgrade but the 249th and 250th features are deal-breakers. Until they can be turned off I will not use Lion.

File>Duplicate creates a new duplicate of the changed file. You then have to go back after you've duplicated, and "revert" the file or you will have two identical changed files. If you want to leave the original untouched, and forget to "revert" before you close the file, you're original file will be lost and your original file will be identical to your new "duplicate" file.
Or you could just click the "Duplicate and Revert" button:

Sorting Bookmarks in the Library window (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for temporary display. The Bookmarks are not permanently sorted.
To permanently sort, open the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+B opens or closes the Bookmarks Sidebar ---- Cmd+B in OSX), right-click (Cmd+click in OSX) the "Bookmarks Menu" folder and choose "Sort by Name".

Bring back Duplicate page.

Hey, Apple Pages peeps. Bring back Duplicate page. The new version offers Duplicate Selection, but not an entire page, which used to be available in thumbnail view.

If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done.
We are all just end-users like yourself here. To have Apple "hear" you you need to leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu and review & rate the new versions in the Mac App Store.

In the previous Firefox, I could bring up a list of pages viewed within a tab, so could quickly jump back several pages, but I can't find this now.

In the previous Firefox, I could bring up a list of pages viewed within a tab, so could quickly jump back several pages, but I can't find this now.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Why does it bring me back to the top page when I click on the open pages?

When I have Pages open and I am typing on it, If I go onto another program when I click onto Pages it brings me to the top page when I was at a lower part.

Probably depends where you click when you go back to PAges.

The HOME BUTTON in the top row of Firefox does not bring me back to Firefox Home Page. A message comes up saying that HOME BUTTON URL is not valid and cannot be processed. Why?

Whenever I use the Firefox browser to go to another site, Ican't get back to Firefox home page by simply pressing the Home button at the top left line of the page.

Open the page that you want as the home page in a tab and drag the tab or the favicon from the left end of the location bar on the toolbar Home button.

Changing Default Save Location in Pages?

Recently moved my wife from Microsoft Word to Pages in Lion
All her work docs have been in Word (saved to many different particular folders in Dropbox)
Whenever she opens in pages and edits I would like it to save back to the same folder it was edited from (and ideally overwite the old Word document as a 'default save option' is that possible?
At the moment the default save is to "Documents" and you have to navigate back to the old folder manually and save new pages document. Then you have to back to finder and deleting the original Word document (otherwise duplicates with same name just without the .doc ending). It is a very awkward workflow which I know will drive her nuts and is open to easy errors of her filing
Any help much appreciated

When you open a Word document with Pages, you are in the same condition than when you create a new document from a template.
There is no path linked to the created document so, the save dialog will default to the late folder used to save.
I assume that there is at least one third party tool allowing us to behave differently but I don't know which one.
Here is a short script which may help.
It doesn't treat several docs at a time.
Just use it to open a Word document. The script will be aware of the original document so it will be able to save automatically a Pages version in the source folder.
If a Pages document with the same stripped name than the Word doc already exists, the new Pages document will be date_time stamped :
In such case, azerty.doc will be not be saved as azerty.pages but as azerty_20110819_165721.pages
--{code}
--[SCRIPT Doc2pages.app]
Save the script as an Application Bundle.
Run it or drag and drop a Word's doc icon on its icon.
It export the doc file as Pages one in the source folder.
Assuming that we start with:
          trucmuche.doc
it will be exported as:
          trucmuche.pages
If a file with the short name already exists
it is saved as:
          trucmuche_20080128-221639.pages
          the serial number is a packed version of the date/time of the save process:
          2008/01/08-22:16:39 .

Please bring back an option to Add Scroll Arrows!?

Mac OS X v10.7 Lion - has removed scrollbars and changed the direction of scrolling to better align with iphones, ipads, etc. Thankfully, there are options to go back to behavior similar to classic scrolling behavior, with one important exception. Unfortunately, scroll arrows are now completely gone. OUCH !
Through preferences one can make scrollbars be presented. Behavior can be based on the type of device being used, or scrollbars can be displayed all the time. I choose to display scrollbars all the time.
Through preferences one can make the scrolling direction go back to what one expects if one used Mac OS X versions prior to 10.7 Lion. When I'm scrolling content on my MacBook Pro, I'm either using devices that are not "embedded" in the display (the trackpad or the mouse). When others do scrolling say on an iPad, where the scrolling is directly on the screen, I get it that the direction is different. But don't change up and down so it will match a phone or tablet when I'm on a device where I'm doing indirect manipulation of window content.
To the core complaint... Scroll Arrows are Gone: I cannot get scroll arrows any more. Take a look at Mail or Safari. This is especially needed in Mail. I get lots of mail. I want to be able to scroll up and down by pages (yes there is another preference for this) using the scroll region. I can do that. But I also want to be able to scroll the window (say preview window, or mail message content window) by one line at a time. However, there is no option that I can find. Maybe I want to see the whole paragraph at the same time. Maybe I want to see a code fragment of 5-10 lines all at one time.
Some might say we should just use the up and down keys on the keyboard. I would like to do that. However, with Mail, Apple still has not provided the ability to move from message to message in the preview pane without MARKING THE MESSAGE AS READ ! Most email messages (like this one :-) are too long at least for quick browsing. When I use the up/down arrow to go from message 42 to message 49, then 42 thru 49 are marked as read, even though I can do this in a second or so with seven down-arrow presses. Certainly I can't read 7 real-life emails in a second. See below for a post two years ago requesting this feature which many Mail programs have, but which has never been added to Mac's Mail app:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1988930?start=15&tstart=0
    Marking "Read" When Viewing in Preview Pane
    ...Similar discussions occurred on 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6. Here we are on 10.7, but this request has been ignored...
Please bring back some method for turning on scroll arrows again! And yes, give the option for controlling whether they're stacked at bottom of scroll region, or for using the more common model of up arrow at top of region and down arrow at bottom.
Sadly, this is also a core behavior of Mac OS X 10.7. I have Chrome installed. It does not allow scroll arrows either.
So, Apple... Accept that you went too far. Bring back options to turn on scroll arrows.
...and go back and review that mail preview behavior too, while you're at it.
Thanks,
Alan Carwile

Alan,
while the two finger scrolling is a sometime substitute for scroll arrows it is completely inadequate as a full time solution. It is useless in programs like excel that can have multiple split screens and only scrolls in one at at time and there is no reliable way that doesn't affect other operations to tell the program what screen you want to scroll in. With scroll arrows I got arrows for each window when I split the screen. It is typical of apple's (and steve jobs) hubris that they would eliminate these. It's fine if you think it is more sleek efficient use of the screen not to have scroll bars, but why recognize the need for scroll bars and allow us to turn them on and not scroll arrows?.
Forgetting the split screen problem, on the large databases I have with 10s of thousands of records anything other than scroll arrows is unpredictable because the scrolling speed is dictated by the size of the database and the sideways scrolling with the track pad is clumsy.
The lack of compatability in Lion whether with programs or user interface speaks poorly of Apple and it is the first time in a long time I've thought I might be headed back to the dark side.
And I think they do this on purpose, to make people bend to their paradigm -- see Job's refusal for the longest time to let keyboards connect to the iphone.
And, I know I'm not speaking to apple here, I'm speaking to Apple users. Apple doesn't seem to care or think it can do any wrong and has had that attitude for a long time.

Can't get back to root welcome page while logged in as administrator

Greetings all,
Something weird has occurred with our iTunes U channel. If I log in as primary administrator, I have access to the tools for creating dependent welcome pages. If I create a new dependent welcome page, and then click on the new welcome page to navigate to it and edit it, I get told "This page has no content. Click to edit".
Once I'm at this point (whether I edit the new page or not), I can no longer return to the root welcome page as an administrator. The "Back" button is greyed out. I can get back to the root welcome page as a non-admin user, for instance by clicking the name of my institution in the top right hand menu bar. This gives me an outdated root welcome page without any of the standard administrative links in the top right-hand corner, and there is no "Click to Edit" link.
In order to get back to the root page as an admin, I have to go back to the Admin login page in my browser, and go through the whole process of logging in again.
Has anyone had any experience with something similar happening to them? If so, how did you resolve the problem?
TKA for any assistance,
Erik Norvelle

After you resetted your router you should try adjusting the wireless settings on your router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
-Here select manual configuratioon...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation...
Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...See if you get the desired speed...If not you should un-install and re-install the wireless adapter...

The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands. I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

Help, please.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
